Chapter 1083 Liu Yue Extra: Liuye River
It was still dark, and Song Ruiyang, who had been sleeping restlessly, got up on time. After finishing his preparations, he went to court with dark circles under his eyes and a pale face.
After the incident last night, the palace servants dared not make a sound, and quickly cleaned up the bedroom in silence. After a brief commotion, the East Palace returned to peace.
After a while, a rustling sound suddenly sounded in the side hall next to the bedroom. Liu Yue tiptoed from the side hall to the main hall and patrolled around the room.
After searching around, it was already dawn. There was no trace of the prince's seal or anything like that, and even no valuables were found. Liu Yue was a little surprised. This guy pretended to be honest so thoroughly!
When the emperor came before, Song Ruiyang did not let the emperor send someone to investigate the matter. He wanted to take the responsibility for it. What was he planning?
Could it be that the guy really recognized him? Liu Yue thought about it and felt that it was not right. Her mask and nightgown were in good condition. Even if there was a cut, it would not reveal her identity.
No matter what he thought, now that she knew he had bad intentions, she would just go back and hide well.
It was a pity that she was one step away from killing this hypocritical guy tonight. Thinking of this, Liu Yue was extremely annoyed. She simply jumped onto Song Ruiyang's big bed and stomped on it a few times.
Suddenly, there was a strange feeling coming back from a position. Liu Yue carefully explored it with his toes and squatted down to knock with his hands. Sure enough, there was a sound that was different from the surroundings.
Liu Yue's heart moved, and he rushed to the window and listened to the movement outside. After confirming that it was safe, he returned to the bed, lifted the quilt and mattress, and carefully touched the bed board.
Got it!
The loose board under his hand that was difficult to find should be a hidden compartment. It must be something very important if it is hidden so close to him.
With the dim light, Liu Yue opened her eyes wide and tried to see how to open the secret compartment. Before she could figure it out, she heard a commotion outside the quiet courtyard.
Liu Yue got out of bed reflexively, made the bed, and carefully wiped away the footprints she had just left. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, she flew into the side hall.
The sound had reached the inner courtyard. It was indeed Song Ruiyang who had returned. Liu Yue cursed inwardly, gently pushed open the window of the side hall and jumped out. After closing it from the outside, she quietly jumped onto the wall and escaped from the palace along her own route before dawn.
Liuye River, a tributary of the Shujiang River, has deep and quiet waters and surging undercurrents. On the river, there are painted boats with heavy or light makeup.
Liu Yue wore a low-key men's suit and walked leisurely towards the river with a bag in her hand.
An inconspicuous sampan slowly approached the shore. The boatman bowed slightly to Liu Yue, and then silently sent her to an ordinary pleasure boat in the river.
The early morning was extremely quiet. The night's singing and dancing died down under the rising sun. No one would notice that someone came to the famous Liuye River in the early morning.
Liu Yue went straight to the cabin on the level of the pimps in the pleasure boat. Jin Yu had already prepared hot water towels waiting for her. Liu Yue wiped it randomly, lay down with her clothes on and fell asleep.
Jin Yu gently packed up her things and wrapped up the nightgown that Liu Yue brought back to get rid of it. As soon as he turned around the corridor, he met Hei Muzi.
"Is the leader safe?"
Jin Yu nodded, "He looks fine and unharmed, but his face doesn't look good. He didn't say anything or eat anything when he came back, and went straight to bed."
"You go and do your work. I'll come find the leader in the evening."
The sun gradually rose higher, and the people sent by Song Ruiyang began their futile search again.
It had been three days since what happened at the dock that day. Not only did they not find Liu Yue, but even the people who were prominent in the Cao Gang had disappeared.
What was even more terrible was that an assassin entered the East Palace last night. For a while, everyone was in danger and prayed that they could complete the task as soon as possible without being implicated.
But no one could have imagined that Liu Yue, a woman, would hide in this place of fireworks.
